Solana: Token information in the IPFS appears with a delay?
Here is an article based on your question:
IPFS tokens information appears with a delay
I use Helius RPC to interact with my Solana wallet and receive information about chips. Specifically, I am interested when the token creation data (for example, mental events) appeared on IPFS.
After creating a new token using token_mint, I immediately receive the Token data and metadata (which include a link to the IPFS Solana account). However, I noticed that these data are not always available immediately.
Delay
I noticed that the symbol creation data usually lasts a few seconds or even minutes to appear on IPFS. This delay can be frustrating, especially if you need quick access to your recently confused chips.
Helius RPC and IPFS Delay
To understand why this delay takes place, let’s take a closer look at how Helius RPC manages the tokens creating data. When I send a request for the latest tokens creating data using my webhook, Helius responds to the requested data. However, there is a delay between the moment I receive the answer from Helius and when the token creation data appeared on IPFS.
Potential causes
There could be several reasons why this delay takes place:
- Latence of the IPFS node : The Solana IPFS node could not respond immediately to my request.
- Helius RPC Day : Helius could take a little time to process and respond to my request, which leads to delayed token creation data.
- Network congestion : If there are more requests for the tokens creating data that come from different users or wallets, it could cause delays.
Solutions
To minimize the delay, you can try the following:
- Check the status of the IPFS node : Make sure the Solana IPFS node is healthy and responds quickly to your requests.
- Optimize Helius RPC requests : Try to reduce the number of requests you send to Helius or use the
-Max-Requests
option to limit the number of requests sent simultaneously.
- Test with a different knot : Try to test the symbols creating data with a different IPFS node such as a test node.
Conclusion
While delay can be frustrating, it is essential to understand why it appears and take measures to alleviate its impact. By optimizing your Helius RPC requests and checking the status of the IPFS solar knot, you should be able to get quick and efficient access to the token creation data.
